Were you getting a little yippy?

Not having even marginal internet access at a big event is such a buzz kill. Wtf. It’s 2026. Get your clown show act together.

@devahaz @MeganNyvold Looks good!

@MeganNyvold @RyanFloyd Oh and this

Saint Frank in SOMA is a beautiful space (also great coffee and pastries)

@ethanmonkhouse Is profitability in sight or a big mountain of lots of scale/burn to climb?

We're planning new episodes of the #AskAVC YouTube & podcast series. What topic, around building a #B2B tech startup, would YOU like next? Is there something about #VC, entrepreneurship or #startups that you'd like me to explore? Write your ideas below! #venturecapital

The most amazing thing about Google Gemini 3 might not be the model - but the fact that it was delivered wo Nvidia.

@asanwal If you believe a new AI-first business can capture services revenue, the opportunity might be more in line with a venture scale business. So far though, we have been skeptical.

I don’t think any venture-backed SEO software cos got that big (VC scale), ie Moz, Conductor, etc What is the thesis that suggest GPT optimization cos will be venture scale?

$100B this quarter, $1T buildout coming. Its hard to get your head around the scale. Larger than the GDP of many countries - similar to Taiwan or Saudi Arabia. But what could go wrong? Great for model costs. wsj.com/tech/openai-un…

@orchidsapp Can't wait to build. Set me up pls!

@kevinlu625 Look forward to trying it out! Congrats on the launch.

So awesome to see the @Workato integration in @Replit! Such a cool vibe builder platform, and what an amazing way to build enterprise apps, using business data and core processes, all safely and securely.

@villi It's all pretty confusing. I hope the auditors sort it out ...you are right it seems like a huge impairment based on the reporting

There are going to be some really uncomfortable conversations between Facebook and their auditors over the next six weeks as they have to write down the Scale investment. It is probably a $10B+ impairment, which is going to be a PR mess.

I should have thought of that...😂

I try hard to not be a complainer. But it should be illegal to bring McDonald's on a flight. I am all good if you like food... nothing against McDonald's (or KFC etc). But I really don't need to spend a long flight overwhelmed w the smell. It's just common courtesy like not ripping some horrible gas for everyone around you to experience as well. Right?

@asanwal A meaningful, lasting enduring company. Built to last.

Founders often talk about building a legacy Wtf do they mean when they say this? Creating wealth to give to their kids? Ppl will remember their company? Help me understand

@villi They are wasting time etc. for political reasons. Tech is still viewed negatively by most in government for a variety of reasons. Regardless of party.

This is the problem with the FTC antitrust policy. There are no consumers here to protect here. Nobody in tech or industry cares about this deal. There are zero concerns about the concentration of power, access, data, IP, or anything. Why are they waisting everybody's time.

@adraaijer @Splashtop Amazing!

Whole Foods was hit by a cyberattack today. It’s a tough reminder that in IT, speed and visibility are everything. With Splashtop AEM, threats get spotted early, patched fast, and shut down before they spread. The future of secure IT is already here.

@EricNewcomer apples and oranges imho. It wasn't a documentary. It was a commercial - .05% of purchase price seems about right. Better comparison is a super bowl commercial maybe.

meanwhile the documentary industry is dying sfstandard.com/2025/05/30/ope…

OpenAI buying IO for $6.5B in stock - a company with no revenue, no product is all you need to know OpenAI is overvalued. I am sure Jony is amazing. Both statements can be true.

Salesforce and Informatica - really about AI? 🤨
